Going with the Creative Charter trip along with a friend. Thursday departure to Eugene Airport; pm at two local vineyards sampling. Staying at Valley River Inn. Touring Oregon campus on Friday am; pre game at ???. Purchased tickets through the U of M., Section 38. Saturday will be a bus trip to...

The game is over. MSU next up. Northwestern, Oregon, Wisconsin to worry about later. Win three of the next four conversation may change. Win two of the next four? Win one of the next four and Gopherholers will go nuts.

Enough already. The reason you play the game is to win the game. PJ has to have a game plan revolving around "winning the game" vs "not losing the game". Open up the offense giving our QB an opportunity to show his stuff. Give our D some tough pills this week and the schemes to perform. Remind...

Let's worry about the Hawkeyes first! The Husker game demonstrated that we can play winning football if we have our heads screwed on straight and play with controlled emotion, meaning do your assignment called for by the coaches.

Did anyone notice that #87 lined up as a blocking fullback when Darius would go his right; that made three TE's in the game at once. Use against Iowa???

Win the next one. Purdue. Worry about Nebby after the W.

When a friend of mine and I went to the 9/5 EP @ Maple Grove game they had the youth league participants there to create a line for the Varsity players to go through before the game started. The announcer said that there were 700+ participants, 700 hundred! MG is building a dynasty if they can...

I attended the EP@MG game and the EP@Tonka game. I agree that MG at this point in the season is the best. I don't know if Tonka can rely on one person, despite a very good OL. How many times can a high school athlete, as good as he is, go for rushing 267 yards, whereas EP used at least six RB's...

My old ball coach in the late sixties, an ex Marine before he started to coach, always said "that's the reason you play the game", meaning that newpaper columnists, pundits, fans can write or talk about the game, but the outcome is determined on the field by the players. He also was a proponent...
